I belive IP Engineering now produce some sweet sixteen items. The steam loco doesn't seem to be amongst them though.

It's a real shame it was a lovely looking engine which is love to see if there are any knocking about.

You're not thinking of the PDF 3D printed models perchance?

Or Slaters kits?

I found out what they are. It was a Beyer Peacock Dot.

The first time I saw it it was it in British Railway Moddelling in 1993. I found out through a Facebook group they got taken over by IMP Models.

Saying that I can't find any further info on them.

PS (Edit) - Sorry - these are not marketed by Timpdon - they are just the locos used on their 'Lake Railway' layout.

And they do it in 45mm gauge - mind you, they do the quarry Hunslet in 45mm gauge as well..... Oh, the temptation!
